Advice about questions.

What questions should I ask myself so I most likely make a bit less obvious mistakes? Those are called yawns if I remember correctly

1. Which of my pieces are 'loose'? As Nunn says, 'LPDO'. Loose Pieces Drop Off.

2. What are my opponent's threats?

3. What's going on where the action isn't? Often players focus on one part of the board where they think the most important changes are taking place, and overlook the implications for the rest of the board. 

After you have considered candidate moves and selected the best move for you, ask yourself: assume I have played this move, what can my opponent do now?

Beginners Advice.

1. Stop playing blitz, and bullet.  Play longer time controls of at least G45, or longer.  
2. Follow Opening Principles:

• Control the center.
• Develop minor pieces toward the center.
• Castle.
• Connect your rooks.

3. Study tactics...tactics...tactics.  One of my favorite quotes is this: "Until you reach Master, your first name is tactics, your middle name is tactics, and your last name is tactics”.
4. Double Check your moves.  Before making a move, ask yourself: "Are my pieces safe?"
5. After your opponent moves, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"
6. Analyze your games WITHOUT a chess engine, then have someone stronger go over the games, or post them online for review.
7. DO NOT memorize openings. Learn and understand the pawn structure, and piece placement for the opening you wish to learn.
8. Learn Basics Mates:

• K vs. KQ
• K vs. KR
• K vs. KRR

9. Learn Basic King and Pawn endings.

• KP vs. K
• Opposition

10. Have Fun!
